Dissertation pros and cons
So I am in my third year and have signed up to do a dissertation but I am unsure of it. My main question is do employers look at it. ie if I didn't do one would it look worse against those who did one.
I am not super passionate about one subject and worry if I am not that interested I would not produce a good piece of work
Also I struggle with anxiety and like routine and so something so self motivating like a dissertation might not be the best fit.
I would just really appreciate an honest review on doing a diss, pros and cons- mainly does it limit with employment post uni

It's completely normal to have reservations about undertaking a dissertation, especially when considering its potential impact on future employment and the challenges it may pose. However, it's essential to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. While completing a dissertation can showcase your research and analytical skills, it's not always a make-or-break factor for employers. The importance placed on a dissertation varies across industries and roles. Some employers value the in-depth research and commitment demonstrated through a dissertation, while others prioritize practical experience and skills gained through internships or other projects.

Employers wont have a clue unless you tell them, and you'd only tell them if you were going in to a job that required you to do in-depth research. Very little chance of that unless you are going in to academia, then your dissertation is pretty vital for your PhD application.
